Hosted during NAIDOC Week, Australia’s leading design market will celebrate First Nations creatives with an expanded line-up of Indigenous stallholders in partnership with Aboriginal Melbourne and City of Melbourne.
Indigenous Program sellers include collective Ngarrimili (representing kids labels Sea Bubs and Amber Days, and accessories label Blak Queens), fine art and jewellery from Ange Jeffery, Uncle Charlie’s moreish popcorn, locally brewed beers from Henry St Brewhouse and many more.
You’ll also find artworks from Baljil Art, chocolate and treats from Jala Jala Treats, and homewares and art from Ngarga Warendj.
The Finders Keepers managing director Sarah Thornton said this market was set to be their biggest of the year.
“We can’t wait to bring our mindfully made markets back to Melbourne in our 15th year – it’s a city where handmade products and Australian designers are really well embraced,” Ms Thornton said.
“We’re excited to be able to expand our Indigenous Program during NAIDOC Week as we again partner with Aboriginal Melbourne and City of Melbourne to help elevate even more creative First Nations stallholders.”
